Job Summary

Job Title: Technical Specialist / Lead Architect - Automotive Networking Architecture

Department: Automotive Engineering Services - E/E Systems
Location: Chennai Tamil Nadu
Experience Level: 6-8 Years

Position Summary

We are seeking a highly specialized and consultative Lead Architect to lead the design and implementation of robust high-bandwidth in-vehicle communication networks for our global OEM and Tier 1 clients. This senior role requires unparalleled expertise in network protocols topology optimization and critical features like network management and power management including deep knowledge of NMPDU implementation.

Key Responsibilities

Network Architecture & Strategy

Topology Design: Lead the design and optimization of complex vehicle network topologies (e.g. Domain Zonal High-Speed Backbone) to support critical functions like autonomous driving (AD) advanced infotainment and centralized compute architectures.
Protocol Mastery: Serve as the Subject Matter Expert (SME) for all in-vehicle communication protocols including Automotive Ethernet (BroadR-Reach 100/1000BASE-T1) CAN FD FlexRay and LIN defining their optimal usage and integration.
DBC packaging: Arbitrate functional to signal requirements with respective suppliers and defining networking signals and package the message frames. DBC file creation for CAN
Network Management (NMPDU): Define and oversee the implementation of Network Management protocols with expert focus on NMPDU structure and utilization for bus monitoring system wake-up/sleep logic and diagnostic communication across the network.
Bandwidth & Latency: Perform comprehensive network load analysis bandwidth provisioning and latency analysis to ensure strict Quality of Service (QoS) for safety-critical and real-time functions.
Cybersecurity Integration: Define the networking architecture requirements necessary to meet automotive cybersecurity standards (ISO 21434) including secure gateway design intrusion detection and hardware-level firewall strategies.

Tooling Consulting & Leadership

Modeling & Simulation: Lead the creation of detailed network models and perform dynamic simulations using specialized tools (e.g. Vector PREEvision CANoe or similar) to validate architectural decisions protocol interactions and NMPDU timing behavior.
Client Consulting: Provide high-level technical consulting to clients advising on network technology roadmaps standardization efforts (AUTOSAR Classic/Adaptive) and critical infrastructure decisions (e.g. switch and gateway placement).
Requirements Translation: Translate high-level vehicle functional requirements into detailed network architecture specifications and NMPDU communication matrices.
Troubleshooting: Provide expert-level technical guidance during prototype and validation phases to resolve complex network communication failures and performance bottlenecks often tied to network management issues.

Key Skills & Requirements

Experience: Minimum of 6-8 years of experience dedicated to in-vehicle networking architecture design and development.
Network Management: Deep practical expertise in automotive Network Management (NM) specifically the design and implementation of NMPDU structures and logic for CAN/CAN FD and LIN.
Networking Expertise: Mastery of Automotive Ethernet and associated standards including switch configuration time-sensitive networking (TSN) and Diagnostics over IP (DoIP).
Standards Compliance: Deep working knowledge of ISO 26262 (Functional Safety) principles as applied to network communication integrity and redundancy and ISO 21434 for network security.
Protocols: Expert-level knowledge of legacy and modern automotive protocols (CAN LIN FlexRay CAN FD).
Modeling Tools: Extensive hands-on experience with E/E architecture and network modeling/simulation tools (e.g. PREEvision Rhapsody or similar).
Network Testing: Create a test plan for all types of networks used in the vehicle ( CAN LIN Ethernet). Load testing physical layer testing signal testing topology interference testing security testing.
Service Provider Experience: Proven track record of successfully managing and delivering network architecture projects in an engineering service or consulting capacity.

Qualifications

Masters degree (preferred) or Bachelors degree in Electrical Engineering Computer Science or a closely related field.
Recognized technical expert in automotive networking (e.g. active participation in industry working groups specialized certifications).
Exceptional communication and presentation skills tailored for both technical teams and executive clients.
